ACTO Member Profile

Sophee Payne

I’m a Vancouver based but international PCC coach, career strategist, and emerging faculty member whose work blends emotional intelligence, behavioral science, and systems thinking. My background is in career clarity and career development, and I’m currently expanding into program design and learning architecture for coaching education.

My practice focuses on helping people navigate inflection points with more self trust and less noise. I work with professionals who are ambitious but misaligned, often burned out from following paths that never felt like their own. My approach is reflective, steady, and human centered. I combine ontological coaching, narrative work, and light behavioral science to help clients make sense of themselves and move toward honest, sustainable choices.

I’m joining ACTO because I want to contribute to the future of coach education. I’m interested in ethical standards, developmental thinking, and integrating AI in ways that deepen presence rather than replace it. My long term path is toward faculty roles where I can build coherent learning systems that honor both rigor and the human experience.
